"Look out for Zach, and don't hit on him." My brother's request sounds easy enough. Keep an eye out for his best friend on campus and keep my hands to myself. Easy. Even if Zach is a quintessential nerd, who I've always thought was cute, I don't have the time to think with my...stick. There's only one stick I should be focused on this year, and that's my hockey stick. My goal once I graduate is to get an NHL contract. The last thing I need is a distraction. On or off the ice. Only, keeping to the rules is harder than I thought it would be.

You know what’s the worst feeling in the world? Being in love with someone since you were twelve years old, knowing they only see you as a little brother type. Not even becoming an NHL star has made him realize I’m all grown up now. All of that changes when I ask my brother’s best friend to ref a charity match and we spend an entire week in each other’s pocket. Being close to him is torture, but for the first time since my adolescent crush started, I begin to feel hope.

The fall from NHL superstar to domestic disaster was swift and painful. When I became the legal guardian of my five younger siblings, I had no idea what I was doing. One year later, I'm still lost. Coaching CU's hockey team might be the only thing I'm excelling at. But when our star forward is failing math, I have to do what it takes to keep him on the team. Even if it's going head-to-head with Jasper Eckstein. One minute I'm confronting the notorious hockey-hating professor, and the next I'm agreeing to be his date to a twenty-year high school reunion. I don't know how that happened.

Moms are good at one thing: the guilt trip. It’s the only reason I’m at the funeral of a man I’ve never had anything to do with. I’ll show up, make her happy, and get out. At least that’s what I think until I learn daddy dearest has left me a crap load of money and the obligation to learn about the family business. All from his eldest son who looks nothing like the rest of us.

After my divorce, I’m ready to have fun, date around, and not get into anything serious. Then I meet Gabe Crosby, superhero firefighter and a disgrace to the Crosby name. He doesn’t even like hockey! Yet, there’s a draw to him I can’t deny—something I haven’t felt since my teens. But that’s the problem. I have no idea what dating is like, let alone how to do it with another man. He makes me flakey and nervous, and I’ve never been that guy.

My loser high school friend never deserved him anyway. If I’d had the chance, I would have locked Remy down years ago. Only, when the party leads to a drunken kiss, going on their honeymoon, and sharing their marital bed, I have to say, I’m not entirely sad that their wedding went up in flames.

The worst part of being in love with my straight best friend is the fact he’s too oblivious to see it. Years of pining have left me exhausted, and I need a break from Dex. I need space to get over my feelings. But when his relationship falls apart and he turns to me for comfort, I cave immediately. If there’s one thing I hate more than being hurt, it’s seeing Dex struggle. I can’t leave him in a time of need, even if my friends say it’s my biggest downfall. They say Dexter Mitchale is my weakness, but if that’s true, I don’t want to be strong.

When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

Hockey, studying, and school runs. That's my life now. After a tragic accident that took our parents' lives, it's up to me and my big brother to take care of our five younger siblings. In between burning their meals and keeping them from killing each other, I'm supposed to get a college degree. If I don't get my grades up, I'm in danger of losing the one thing that makes me happy: my spot on the hockey team.

For the last three years, I've lived and breathed hockey with one goal: team captain. There's only one thing standing in my way. TJ Beckett. Beck is irresponsible and immature, and I've hated him since the moment we met freshman year. Yet the coaches see something in him I obviously can't, and they refuse to choose between us. The captain spot is going to a team vote. And the team thinks that what we need are a bunch of challenges to prove our worth.

It turns out making out with my best friend in high school could be considered gay. Who knew? Apparently, everyone but me. Now that it's been pointed out, I can't help reliving it in my head. Repeatedly. Good-bye Denial Town, hello Confusionville. When my path leads me down the gay dating app route, I don't expect to meet anyone I like, but then I meet him. He can't be more opposite than me. He's smart, he hates hockey, and he identifies as demi - something I've never heard of. Yet I can't deny something's there.

The idea of moving away from Seattle was a joke at first. I have too many failed relationships here. Too much baggage. So when I find myself signing with Nashville and leaving everything behind, I’m hopeful a new start will cure me of my attachment problems. I fall fast and hard, and I’m quickly realizing it’s not so easy to escape my emotional damage. That follows no matter where I go.

Straining my groin is bad enough. It puts my hockey career, my future, but even worse, my dignity on the line. Having to get massages in that area from Vance Landon, one of the team trainers, is mortifying. It’s impossible to hide my feelings toward him. If my constant blushing and bumbling doesn’t give it away, my body does. It’s getting to the point where I wonder if hockey is even worth the embarrassment. Trying to avoid him only makes him seek me out more. He’s determined to rehab my injury, but all I want is for him to leave me alone.

After a little mishap in an alleyway with CCTV, my public image needs fixing. Oops? It might have been a stunt to get the attention of Lane Pierce, San Jose’s new PR manager, but I didn’t realize what the consequences would be when I did it. I’ve got Lane’s sole focus now in all the wrong ways.

Seth Grant hat eine Identitätskrise. Alle Welt scheint davon auszugehen, dass er schwul ist, und so stürzt er sich ins Online-Dating, um herauszufinden, ob da was dran sein könnte. Niemals hätte er jedoch damit gerechnet, dass er ausgerechnet per App einen Seelenfreund findet. Doch es gibt einen Haken: Sein Flirt ist Eishockeyspieler, und Seth hasst alles, was mit dem Sport zu tun hat. Schlimmer noch, wenn sein Match erfährt, dass Seths Zwilling Foster für die NHL spielt, droht er einmal mehr im Schatten seines Bruders zu stehen.

Als sein Freund Foster Grant in die NHL wechselt, ist sich Christopher Jacobs sicher: Jetzt wird er Teamcaptain der Eishockeymannschaft an der Colchester University. Doch das ist nicht so einfach wie gedacht, denn der Coach stellt auch seinen Rivalen TJ "Beck" Beckett zur Wahl. Dabei ist Beck ebenso unzuverlässig und rücksichtslos wie verwöhnt und reich. Kurz gesagt: das komplette Gegenteil von Jacobs und daher ganz sicher nicht als Anführer geeignet! Um den neuen Captain zu finden, hat sich das Team eine Reihe von Mutproben ausgedacht – möge der Bessere gewinnen.

Vom NHL-Superstar zum Versager zu Hause – für Westly Dalton kam der Absturz schnell und hart. Völlig unverhofft wurde er zum Vormund seiner fünf jüngeren Geschwister, und auch ein Jahr später fühlt er sich in der neuen Rolle noch kein bisschen angekommen. Sein einziger Lichtblick ist der Job als Coach für das Eishockeyteam der Colchester University. Als der Erfolg der Mannschaft in Gefahr ist, weil einer der besten Spieler aufgrund seiner Noten kurz vor dem Rauswurf steht, geht West mit dem unbeliebten Mathematikprofessor einen ungewöhnlichen Deal ein.

Asher Dalton ist nicht gerade für sein sonniges Gemüt bekannt. Nach dem tragischen Unfalltod seiner Eltern hat er seine Karriere als Eishockeyprofi aufgegeben, um gemeinsam mit seinem Bruder West die jüngeren Geschwister aufzuziehen. Doch Asher ist von seinem neuen Leben komplett überfordert, seine Noten leiden, und er muss wohl oder übel das Nachhilfeangebot von Kole annehmen, wenn er wenigstens im College-Eishockeyteam bleiben will. Auch wenn er genau weiß, dass man sich vom Sohn des Trainers lieber fernhalten sollte.

Foster Grant hat nur ein Ziel: nach dem Collegeabschluss in der NHL spielen. Darauf arbeitet der Star-Eishockeyspieler der Colchester University seit Jahren hin. Zeit für Ablenkung bleibt da nicht, auch wenn sein Zwillingsbruder Seth ihn gebeten hat, ein Auge auf seinen besten Freund Zach Sawyer zu haben. Der nerdige Zach ist erst vor Kurzem an Fosters Uni gewechselt und stellt sich trotz seiner sozialen Unbeholfenheit als überraschend liebenswert heraus. Aber Zach ist nicht nur unerfahren in Liebesdingen, sondern auch der Lehrassistent in einem von Fosters Kursen.
